Money Does Help Families Recover After Serious Injuries

Originally published January 1, 2020. Updated October 2026.

No financial award can fully make up for a serious injury or the loss of someone you love. We know that. But fair compensation can mean the difference between a life of hardship and one that is, at the very least, economically bearable.

Serious Injuries Create Serious Financial Problems

Accidents and medical errors are never planned. One day a family is fine. The next, someone cannot work, the medical bills are piling up, and the future looks uncertain.

Our work cannot undo the physical or emotional harm. What we can do is pursue the money the law allows, so that the financial damage does not become a second disaster. We also hold accountable the people and companies whose negligence caused the harm.

What Compensation Can Cover

Every case is different, but compensation in a personal injury or medical malpractice case can address:

• Medical bills, past and future
• Lost income and lost ability to earn
• The ongoing care a serious injury may require
• The human losses an injury causes, not only the financial ones

Pennsylvania does not cap compensatory damages in these cases. A jury decides what is fair based on the evidence.

How Our Fees Work

We handle injury cases on a contingent fee. That means we do not get paid unless we obtain a monetary recovery for our client first. We advance the case costs, and they are reimbursed from the client’s share only if we are successful.

We believe the recovery is your money, not ours, and we think people deserve to understand their fee agreement before they sign it.

What This Means for You Today

• Do not wait. In most Pennsylvania personal injury cases, you have two years to file a lawsuit.
• Keep your medical records, bills and pay stubs together.
• Ask any lawyer you meet exactly how their fee is calculated.
• Learn more on our personal injury and medical malpractice pages, and see our case results.
